Make sure to uninstall the current driver, restart, and then install the one provided by HP.As for the Intel card, the 32-bit package for Windows 8 is compatible with Windows 7 as well." So, the driver and the CCC application that I had to install were those modified by HP (downloaded from here).This early access driver is being provided for users who have had issues launching a small number of Direct X 9 based games.This alpha driver has not been fully tested by AMD and is not recommended for general use.I managed to put back some drivers, but I was not able to install an AMD application with a GUI intended for switching between the two cards and I am not sure that I need that (I guess the switching is done according to the needs of different applications running - ?
In fact, I was just searching for a proper driver that would make the fans as quite as possible while keeping the system safe.The AMD driver and card are made for high-energy consuming tasks and the fans would by used more in such cases; so, fans were not quieter, on the contrary (one is incited by CCC to add more applications to the list of apps using the discrete card); while the Task Manager was showing oddly 6-7 instances of the ATI driver each using 25-50 MB of RAM (and that did not happen before).
